On Tuesday I had a slight problem before I eventually got on my plane and the second plane (from Amsterdam to Strasbourg) was the smallest plane I’ve ever been on.

Strasbourg Airport is about 10 minutes on the train from the airport but still felt like the middle of nowhere,At Strasbourg, Jo met me and took me to her flat where I spent most of the week, not that I was complainingI spent most of the week with Ms T, taking her to school and all the other things that parents and grandparents and nannies and godparents etc do

Ms T was mostly a trouper and yes some of it was difficult but I maintain my position that parenting effectively is not difficult but it is hard!

Jo came home on Saturday and we had a wander about Strasbourg in the rain.I came back to London with a cold but was really happy to have spent time with Ms T and Jo!
